Kaole Ruins are located just south of historical town Bagamoyo (5km). Those ruins take us back to 13th Century. Kaole was early known as Pumbuji, was the first settlement of the Arabs from Persia in 13th Century. Ruins have two mosques and several tombs. Tombs are built with coral rag, with columns. One mosque is the remnant of the oldest mosque in East Africa, dating between third and fourth centuries. Just east of the ruins, past a dense stand of mangroves, is the old harbor, now silted, that was in use during Kaole’s heyday.
Miracles Well
The water well in the center of attraction is six meters from the surface and its history is as old as Bagamoyo. There is a myth that the water from this well heals you physically and spiritually. Up to now many visitors come and apply water on their bodies expecting miracles.
